Asian markets were trading mostly in red on Wednesday after China’s industrial profits dropped by 10% in October from a year ago, in another sign that Beijing’s recent stimulus measures have yet to reverse a slump in corporate earnings. That followed a 27.1% year-on-year decline in September, the steepest plunge since March 2020. Industrial profits are a key gauge of the financial health of factories, mines and utilities in China. Besides, traders remained cautious ahead of the release of a key U.S. inflation measure, and uncertainty over Trump's tariff plans.
